we talked about the benghazi select committee meeting. what is your latest reporting on how this is going to proceed? >> right. well, the very first hearing they're going to have is going to strike a slightly different tone. chairman benie thompson told us last week he wants to hold a hearing where the members of the capitol police will talk about their experience on january 6th, where many officers were injured, beaten by protesters, and are still dealing with the long-term psychological trauma of that day. but moving on from that, he and other top democrats have repeatedly declined to rule out calling people like former president trump or even former leader kevin mccarthy to testify about what happened that day and this could shed some light on exactly what happened. it's worth noting. you mentioned the benghazi committee hearing earlier that former secretary of state hillary clinton did, in fact, come and testify before the benghazi committee in 2015. so there is some sort of precedent for high-profile figures coming to testify before

what is the impact of benghazi? don't we have to take serious the republican criticism that there were plenty of warnings, that secretary clinton and the people under her did not respond to this request for more security and that there was a management failure at the state department? >> well, i think this report reinforced what we've heard from the accountability review board that reported back about a year ago that made a number of recommendations and showed that there was a breakdown in communication, in security. that people needed to be held accountable. i think the state department is working through those recommendations trying to address that. we need to address security at our embassies, particularly in places that are very high risk. and at its core, this was a real human tragedy. we lost four americans who were working hard for us overseas and we need to make sure that the people who killed them are brought to justice. that's very important. and we need to continue that effort. and we need to go forward a

i get calls on the radio to this day of people who will almost bark out benghazi as a rallying cry. i wonder, however, does this have legs beyond those outside of the hard core gop base? >> it has legs with the same people who are still harping about the president's birth certificate. this is the mirage that some republicans see very, very clearly. but when you get up close to it, it doesn't really exist. and i agree with you, michael. "the new york times" didn't completely exonerate the administration. they did say there were security lapses. they said there were indications that there could be problems. but they took a deeper look and they found what susan rice said at the very beginning had a great deal of truth to it. there was a video that was getting quite a bit of attention through the egyptian satellite television networks that are throughout that region, and it was getting critical attention and mobs were forming and they were angry. you know, it's possible -- and i think anybody who's being honest would have to acknowledge that it's possible that there is some other nefari

you write that mccain should have zero credibility on susan rice and benghazi. why does the washington establishment always seem to turn to mccain for, let's see what the godfather says here. when does this guy become irrelevant? >> ed, you know, he has been respected for a long time for his war service, for what happened to him, and for his early senate career when he was genuinely a senator who worked across party lines, worked on campaign finance, did things to anger his own party, did things to compromise with the other party, took legislating seriously. he did buy a lot of credibility through those actions, but those are ancient history now. ever since 2000 when he lost to george bush. he was very mad about that loss. but he became, at that point, for whatever reason, a very, very loyal right wing republican and then especially after 2008 when he lost to obama and i think he took that very personally, i think he still takes it personally. then a primary from the right in 2010 and he became a tea party guy. this transformation of john mccain has been a very
